XV. NN Ultrabalaton 2026

Lake Balaton defines this race: a single, continuous loop around the water, long enough that the shore shifts from scenery to the challenge itself. The XV. NN Ultrabalaton marks the 15th running of this event, known among runners as the nation's most popular community sports gathering. It holds a distinct place in the calendar, recognized as Central Europe's longest running race. This is straightforward ultra running. Solo runners and relay teams navigate the same course, which can also be completed by bicycle. Completing the race within the time limit earns a distinctive finisher medal, a personal finish ribbon, and a diploma. The overall winner has their name inscribed on a cup alongside those of previous victors.
